ORANGE COUNTY AIRPORT – Orange, Orange County

The Orange County Airport was first constructed in 1946 on a portion of 450 acres owned by Mr. Edger Brown, Jr.  This airport consisted of four (4) turf runways 130′ wide, ranging in length from 3,200′ to 5,000′ and a 100′ x 120′ aircraft storage hangar.  The Airport operated in this manner until 1973 when the County purchased the airport and an approximate 84 acres adjacent to the original property, increasing the total acreage to 534. In this same year, the primary runway, Runway 4/22, was paved and lighted (75′ x 3,800′), and a 120′ x 200′ apron and connecting taxiway was constructed.

Over the intervening years, with the help of TxDOT, the Airport has continued to add and maintain necessary pavement and other amenities to keep the Aiport a first class facility. Today, the Airport consists of approximately 385 acres, bases approximately 30 aircraft, and maintains two (2) runways.
